topicCranberry Skin Health Randomized Trial
claimOur model consists in applying edible ingredients, i.e., botanical extracts, onto a differentiated monolayer of Caco-2 epithelial cells, that mimics the mucosal absorptive wall in the intestine, to simulate their intestinal absorption and associated metabolization.
